Treat without fear or favour. Fully behind that principle.

Just something to slip in though. How do contributors feel about recovering costs?

The NHS has for a number of years been encouraged to claim road traffic accident costs from insurance companies for emergency treatment and, where they are savvy enough to make the connection, ongoing elective costs that emanated from the accident.

Obviously, not at the cost to the patient but is charging the insurance company a step nearer or something entirely different?

Views appreciated.
